I am fairly new to android coding and recently developed a webview app for my church. Even though the apk was generated successfully, I am facing an issue with persistent white space at the bottom of the screen.

Despite removing all android:padding references in the content_main.xml file, the problem persists.

I have searched forums hoping to find a solution to this issue, but most threads only helped me remove padding code without addressing the white space problem.

If necessary, I can share code snippets. Thank you in advance! View a visual example of the white block at the bottom

For the html code for the page we use Wordpress to host it. I've disabled all footers and such for what I think are the likely culprits. When opening the page (www.communionchapelefca.org/edy-home) it does not display the white block at the bottom.

Please let me know if other XML or java files need to be shared. Your assistance is highly appreciated.
